Week 12 - Sweet Treats

This week the challenge is to draw inspiration from SOMETHING SWEET - by this I mean use layers of browns inspired by chocolate, red and white stripes like Candy Canes, all pinks like Fairy Floss, lots of little gems like sprinkles on cupcakes, yellow and white tones like on lemon meringue pie etc..Your card doesn't necessarily need to have a cake, lolly or whatever on it - it just needs to be inspired by the colours and designs of something sweet.

My son Harrison and I have been browsing through our Christmas recipe books and he spotted Peppermint truffles - he loves everything and anything minty so I guess they will be what we will be making tomorrow to "test" out - I also thought these yummy little treats looked perfect for a card I had in mind in of course... Greens and Browns.

When you send me your card it would be great if you could add the name of the sweet that inspired you. Remember it doesn't need to be a Christmas card - it can be any theme - just use your sweet tooth to inspire you!

Thanks for playing!!

Copycatcards Forum

Hi there - I hope your Flying cards are about to launch - only 2 days to go to get them in! The ones so far really look great!

I just wanted to let you know that I have created a forum for us to all have a chat. I have the opportunity through this blog to chat to our new friends via email but it occurred to me that you guys don't as we just have the space to put a name here under the cards.

So, there is a link to the scrapsidaisy forum I have for the shop but I have added a separate forum for Copycatcards - you will see it quite easily - feel free to add topics, have a chat, say hi - whatever - that way we can all get to know each other a little better through cyberspace.

Hope you can join in.

Week 9, Fly, fly away!

I am not sure where the week went - sorry to those waiting on replies to emails and to Sharon who is waiting on her prize and to everyone else who visits here and would really like to know the winner of Week 7 (!!) who I have just drawn and is...FIONA!

I am really not sure what happened all week to get me SO far behind but I did and somehow it just flew by...which brings me to next week's challenge!

For our newbies - to enter just make a card in accordance with the copycat guidelines (above) and email it to me (reduced size please) to barwell@aapt.net.au before next Sunday morning. TOO EASY!
